Edge-hardened Cutting Rules
HP plasma hardened
HP – Properties
- Edge-hardened by special plasma hardening process
- Highest possible lifetime of the die, due to high cutting edge hardness of ~ 700 HV (~ 60 HRC)
- HP is unique to Martin Miller cutting rules
HP – Applicaton
- For high to extremely high production runs/number of cuts
- Dust reduction in the cutting process
- Optimized for tight bends
Special execution
Vikingflex HF cutting rules on request.
HP+
HP+ – Properties
- Unique dual edge hardening process
- Multi layer combines HF and Plasma hardening technology with ~800 HV (~64 HRC) on tip and deep edge hardened zone
- Extended lifetime of cutting tool
HP+ – Application
- Processing on automatic bending machines still possible
- Carton, duplex board, rigid and thick materials, gaskets, stiff plastic, compounds
MM trough hardened
MM – Properties
- The same hardness of cutting edge and body
- Good bendability due to soft and ductile surface layer
MM – Application
- Small to medium size runes/number of cuts
- Good bending properties
- All purpose rule (carton, corrugated)
